EAST ALAMEDA CHURCH OF CHRIST IN AURORA - Voter turnout at precinct 548 was practically astronomical, shooting up to about 80 percent by 3:30 p.m. counting walk-ins and those who voted earlier, the chief election judge said.

"I don't think I've ever seen it this high," said the judge, who declined to give her name.

The judge said she estimated there are 900 people eligible to vote in precinct 548, which is in east Aurora on Alameda Avenue.

She said about three out of four voters had already voted, either by mail-in ballot or early voting.

Voters still walked in to cast ballots. When the polls opened, about 10 people waited in line, said the judge, who has been an election judge about 20 years.
